Experience the vibrant journey of civilization as this catchy tune celebrates the growth and unity of cultures across time. From the rise of empires to the innovation of trade, 'Kabihasnan' is an anthem for those who appreciate history's powerful impact on our world today.
[Verse 1]
I know a place, where the rivers always flow,
Ancient lands where civilizations grow.
Pyramids rise, temples touch the skies,
Oh-oh, cities bloom before your eyes.
Brick by brick, we built it tall,
From Babylon to China’s wall.
Started small, now we’re so grand,
Yeah, we made it with our hands!
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re diggin’ in the dirt,
With the sun so hot, we'll make it work.
Craftin’ tools, writing scrolls,
The rise of empires across the world.
[Chorus]
Kabihasnang fierce, unforgettable,
Strong foundations, cities so incredible.
Gold and silver, shining bright,
Ooh-oh, we’ve been building day and night.
Kabihasnan, we’re undeniable,
From the ground up, we’re so reliable.
Our roots go deep, our minds expand,
Ooh-oh, the power’s in our hands!
[Verse 2]
Silk and spice, yeah, we’re trading everywhere,
Ships set sail to take our goods out there.
From Rome to Greece, knowledge never ceased,
Oh-oh, we’re creating our own peace.
Stone by stone, we raise it high,
Stories written in the sky.
Philosophers and kings unite,
Building futures, shining bright!
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re diggin’ in the dirt,
With the sun so hot, we'll make it work.
Craftin’ tools, writing scrolls,
The rise of empires across the world.
[Chorus]
Kabihasnang fierce, unforgettable,
Strong foundations, cities so incredible.
Gold and silver, shining bright,
Ooh-oh, we’ve been building day and night.
Kabihasnan, we’re undeniable,
From the ground up, we’re so reliable.
Our roots go deep, our minds expand,
Ooh-oh, the power’s in our hands!
[Bridge]
Building up high, temples and towers,
Cities that rise, we’re claiming the power.
Rivers and plains, empires remain,
Kabihasnan, we reign!
[Chorus]
Kabihasnang fierce, unforgettable,
Strong foundations, cities so incredible.
Gold and silver, shining bright,
Ooh-oh, we’ve been building day and night.
Kabihasnan, we’re undeniable,
From the ground up, we’re so reliable.
Our roots go deep, our minds expand,
Ooh-oh, the power’s in our hands!
